The Mens Leather Wallet is built for the man wanting to go minimal but still needing the functionality of a traditional bifold. I hand make them here in my small U.S. workshop to remain slim with Full-Grain leather so it’ll last through heavy use for years to come. Yep, no stitching to break on these – as I use solid brass rivets instead. You could say it is built for a lifetime. I figure once you fully break this leather wallet in, it should hold 8 to 12 cards and a medium stack of cash. It might be my favorite design yet and as a bonus I ship a free tin of leather conditioner if you place your order now.

DESIGN UPDATE:
As of 7/8/21 two extra rivets have been placed on the interior for all styles of this wallet. This helps to tighten the two ‘card pockets’ located behind the front slots. See photo above for an example of where they are located.
CURRENCY:
The non-snap version of this wallet will fit U.S. Dollars, Canadian, Australian, Japanese, and some of the smaller (in height) Euro and British bills that are similar in size to the US Dollar notes.
The Snap version of this wallet is slightly taller and will fit Euro bills up to the 50 Euro note, and British bills up to the 20 Pound note.
SIZE:
The non-snap version of this wallet measures approximately 3.125 x 4.25 inches when folded and is about 5/16 inch (10mm) at its thickest point.
The snap version of this wallet measures approximately 3.25 x 4.5 inches when folded and is about 5/16 inch (10mm) at its thickest leather only point. The snaps are slightly thicker, but once the wallet is loaded with cards and cash – the snap area equals or is thinner than the loaded wallet.
The Mens Leather Wallet will easily fit 6 – 8 cards initially (up to 12 or so once broken in), receipts notes and bills. You must allow the wallet a bit of time to be broken in so that it may stretch to fit your needs. Once fully broken in (about 1-2 weeks or so) you can add even more cards. This wallet is built entirely from one continuous cut of leather folded onto itself and the interior divider will initially be the same length as the outer piece. The exterior leather will eventually break in and lengthen slightly more than the divider as is typical in traditionally cut wallets.
CLOSURE OPTIONS:
This wallet now comes with the option to add Button Snaps to help keep your cards and cash secure, and the wallet closed. It’s perfect for those needing that extra bit of security and works great if you tend to toss your wallet on a shelf, in your day bag, or on your desk. If you opt for the Button Snaps, we will install them on the edges of the wallet as shown in the photos. The buttons are solid brass and nickel plated, they increase the height and length of the wallet marginally to accommodate placement. In addition – this option will include two rivets installed just behind the card slots to tighten up the card pocket area.
CHAIN OPTIONS:
OPTION A – Is a lighter weight steel with nickel plating. It’s about 18 inches long and the chain width is 3/16″ wide.
OPTION B – A nice heavy weight chain made of stainless steel with a stainless steel clip. Measures 18 inches long and a chain width of 7/16″ wide.
OPTION C – A sturdy Full Grain Leather strap is cut to 7/16″ width and riveted to a stainless steel clip on one end and a stainless steel split ring on the other. The leather color will match your wallet unless specified in the comment section at checkout. Measures about 18.5″ long.
OPTION D – This leather chain strap ends in a snapping belt loop meant to go over belts up to 1.75″ wide. Made from one piece of solid full-grain leather, the other end attaches you your wallet via a stainless steel split ring. Leather color will match your wallet unless specified in the comment section at checkout. Measures 19″ long from end to end, 7/16″ width on strap section, and 7/8″ width on snap section.
OPTION E – Want to attach your own chain? Choose this option and we will install a solid brass nickel plated grommet with stainless steel split ring so you can use your own chain. The grommet will be installed in the same location as the photos and placement cannot be customized.
Here’s a look at how my customers’ wallets are aging over time. Each wallet will develop its own unique patina depending on how you use it, how often, and what it’s exposed to. That’s the magic of using high-end Full Grain Vegetable Tanned Leather.
